Christ and Him CrucifiedFor I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified (I Corinthians 2:2)The apostle Paul declared to a heathen world, and a church being led astray by foolish pride and worldly wisdom, that he preached Christ and Him crucified. The gospel is a person. He was a person in […]

Dry sand and deep wells “And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they encamped there by the waters.” Exodus 15:27 A great wilderness lay between Israel and Canaan; a vast unfriendly, harsh land that stretched out before them across which they could not survive […]

The Revelation of Faith “But as it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his spirit; for the spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things […]

Taking Out the Trash Darvin Pruitt In Philippians 3 the apostle Paul talks about men and women who look to the flesh to find a confidence and assurance of a relationship with God. He likens it to an account of money. We deposit our earnings until we accumulate enough to put us in good standing […]

The Pillar and Ground of the Truth The church of the living God as she is seen in her local assemblies is the pillar and ground of the truth. Though these assemblies are few and far between they alone have the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ. They stand wherever God has gathered them […]

A Preacher Called John There are many things that one could write concerning this remarkable man of God. He was the last prophet of the Old Testament and the first of the New Testament. He was the forerunner of the Lamb of God and a fearless prophet who would not soften the word of God; […]

Two lessons taught by Esau The birthright which Esau despised and sold for a morsel of meat (Hebrews 12: 16) was not the natural inheritance of his father but, all of the promises of God in the coming redeemer. To him, it was just spiritual folklore and superstitious tradition. While the concept of such things […]

It often happens, in the Psalms, that you can scarcely tell whether it
is David, or the Lord Jesus, or both of them, to whom the writer is
referring. Oftentimes you lose sight of David altogether, and are quiet
certain that he is not there; while, at other times, the words seem equally
suited either to David as the type, or to Jesus as the antitype. I think
that this fact is very instructive to us. It is as the Holy Ghost intended,
even in those ancient times, to let God’s saints know that there is a
mysterious union between Christ and His people, so that almost all things
which may be said concerning Him may be said, also, concerning those who are
in Him. They are so completely one, they are so intimately united in bonds
of mystic, vital, conjugal, eternal union, that it would not be possible
always to keep the sayings concerning them apart. — Charles Spurgeon

Jesus sustains no association to His Church more expressive than that of the marriage relationship. From all eternity He forever betrothed her to Himself. He asked her at the hands of her Father—and the Father gave her to Him. He entered into a covenant that she would be His. The conditions of that covenant were great, but not too great for His love to undertake. They were, that He should assume her nature, discharge her legal obligations, endure her punishment, repair her ruin, and bring her to glory! He undertook all, and He accomplished all, because He loved her! The love of Jesus to His Church is the love of the most tender husband. It is single, constant, affectionate, matchless, wonderful. Jesus sympathizes with her, nourishes her, provides for her, clothes her, watches over, and indulges her with the most intimate and endearing tenderness.
